Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1740 The War of Liaodong

"Your Highness!" Zhang Sanbai saw Zhang Shun and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Get up!" Zhang Shun looked up and down. Seeing that the handsome Zhang Sanbai's face was a little more weathered, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I've lost weight!"

"It doesn't matter if the general loses weight, as long as the world gets fatter!" Zhang Sanbai replied matter-of-factly.

"You are still so boring!" Zhang Shun shook his head and smiled.

This kind of person is called aloof at best, and "mouthless gourd" at worst. If he is not protected by himself, he will be bullied.

Zhang Shun even suspected that his father had such a temper back then, which led his mother to remarry.

Otherwise, how could they be so different in temperament when they are brothers and sisters from the same mother?

"Okay, no more nonsense!" Zhang Shun saw that he was silent and didn't expect him to say anything, so he continued to ask, "What is the war in Liaodong? How can it be delayed like this? as long as?"

"Your Highness, please!" When Zhang Sanbai heard that Zhang Shun asked about the war, his expressionless face finally showed a hint of excitement.

"Since last winter, I led my troops north to defeat Yizhou and Guangning, and then went to Haizhou and besieged Shenyang. I thought that the overall situation in Liaodong was decided, but unexpectedly, the Jianlu rebels stubbornly resisted and defended the fortified city."

"At that time, the weather was so cold and the ground was so cold that dripping water turned into ice. I dug three layers of trenches outside the city and completely surrounded the city."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, it's cold and freezing, and dripping water turns into ice. How can you dig three layers of trenches?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but ask.

"One is to boil hot water and pour it, and the other is to simmer it over a charcoal fire overnight. The next day the frozen soil has melted by about a foot, and then we dig it out!" Zhang Sanbai quickly explained.

"Oh, very good!" Zhang Shun nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Zhang Sanbai to continue.

So, Zhang Sanbai said again: "After more than two months of this, there was a great famine in the city, people were eating each other, all the dishes and plaques on the city were destroyed, the city walls collapsed in many places, and the Jianqiu still refused to surrender."

"It was His Highness's 'Abolition of Slavery Order', so I ordered people to disperse into the city to attack his heart."

"Sure enough, the Baoyi people in the city heard about it and had no intention of fighting. Many people abandoned the city and fled. They wanted to embarrass their power by establishing slaves."

"Some women came straight from the north. Jiannu thought that Prince Heshuocheng Yue Tuo was coming with his army, so he sent out all the troops to fight me."

"While I divided my troops and prepared them, I fought with them north of Shenyang."

"As it was getting late, the female straight soldiers from the north suddenly rushed in from the right wing of Jiannu. The slave soldiers were defeated and retreated to the city. Our army did not know the true situation, so we had to withdraw our troops and wait."

"At that time, the female direct soldiers sent an envoy, claiming to be Bomubogor, the leader of the Sauron tribe. Because Jiannu sent troops to invade many times, killing his strong men and taking away his men and women, he had no choice but to raise an army. Now he has killed his chief Yue Tuo. , I came here to ask for credit from the 'Shangguo'."

"When we heard that such a new force had joined us, we couldn't help but be overjoyed and planned to capture Shenyang City the next day."

"Unexpectedly, there was chaos in Shenyang City that night. It wasn't until the next day that we found out that 'Big Belle' Daishan, seeing that the situation was over, actually attacked and killed 'Fake Emperor' Duduo at night, and then tied himself out of the city to ask for surrender."

"I did not dare to act on my own, so I recovered Shenyang and its surrounding cities, put the remaining troops under surveillance, and then returned to the capital to wait for His Highness to make a decision."

"Oh, that's it!" Zhang Shun listened patiently to Zhang Sanbai's explanation of the battle in one breath, and then nodded.

Immediately, his voice changed and he asked: "But, how did I hear that there were people in Liaodong who killed prisoners and robbed the Liao people of their food, so that nine out of ten houses in Liaodong were empty, and there was no rooster crow for thousands of miles?"

"It's true!" Zhang Sanbai replied without changing his expression and his heart not beating when he heard this. "According to what I saw with my own eyes on the road, bones were exposed in the wild, ruins were everywhere, and people were desolate."

"There is a village in Russia with only dozens of empty houses and waist-deep weeds."

"According to the words of the rescued Liao people, the Tatars first killed our people in Liaodong, then shaved their heads and changed clothes, and then raced to enclose the land and used good people as slaves, so that most of them were brutally killed."

"Later on, the people of Liaodong were in dire straits under the rule of Hou Jin. The slaves first killed the 'people without grain', then the wealthy households, and finally the 'disobedient Nikkans', so that the Liao people were almost completely slaughtered."

"The Jianlu are so cruel and cruel, they are really inhuman. If you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that they kill each other!"

"." It turned out that Zhang Shun had just returned to the capital when he received a large number of slips criticizing Zhang Sanbai for "supporting his troops with self-respect" and "killing too much". He originally planned to ask what was going on.

As a result, Zhang Shun suddenly changed his mind after hearing Zhang Sanbai's seemingly unanswered remarks.

Since the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, millions of immigrants have immigrated to Liaodong. After more than two hundred years, it is unknown how many people were born, but most of them were slaughtered by the slaves. How cruel and cruel.

Not to mention that Zhang Sanbai was originally from the rebel army, and all kinds of tragic situations have long been commonplace.

Even he, who had always been cold-faced and cold-hearted, was furious. Liaodong must have already been a hell on earth.

In this case, it is not a strange thing for these "Tatars" to "kill each other"!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun frowned, and after a while he asked: "How many Liao people are there in Liaodong today? How many Tatars are there? How many slaves are there?"

"Your Highness, we have carefully verified that there are about 100,000 Liao people in Shenyang and Haizhou, and 300,000 men, women, old and children." Zhang Sanbai quickly replied.

"Except for Horqin's three left-wing tribes, which have 5,000 or 6,000 men and a population of more than 20,000, the other Tatars have about 10,000 men and 30,000 to 40,000 men and women. There are only 20,000 men and 50,000 and 60,000 men and women left to establish slaves."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "According to reports from Zhao Lizi and Geng Zhongming, there are 80,000 men and 200,000 men and women in Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Gai."

"It's a pity that the rich land of Liaodong is now gone!"

"Your Highness, do you want it?" When Zhang Sanbai heard this, he couldn't help but put his palms together and slashed hard.

"No, this is not allowed!" Zhang Shun shook his head and refused.

"Your Highness, don't worry. As long as you are willing, I will take care of this matter for you." Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but sneered, "All the infamy will be shouldered by the general, and it will never harm Your Highness." A shred of fame! "

To be honest, when Zhang Shun heard Zhang Sanbai's words, he was moved and inevitably had an impulse in his heart.

As long as he nods, he will naturally be able to "get his revenge"!

However, after thinking for a long time, he finally refused: "As the supreme king in the world, why do you need you to take the blame for me?"

"The restored captives are also my king's people, and they are no longer allowed to kill!"

"Your Highness!" Zhang Sanbai was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "How can Your Highness live in a false name and deal with real disasters!"

"You don't understand!" Zhang Shun shook his head and sighed.

"Why don't I understand!" Zhang Sanbai became excited.

"Liaodong is empty now, with North Korea in the east, Sauron in the north, and Horqin and other tribes in the west!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but remind him.

"If I wipe out all the Jianlu, I'm afraid there will be another group of Jianlu in the future!"

"This..." Zhang Sanbai was stunned when he heard this. He sat down slumped and couldn't help but cursed, "This is damn politics!"

"What's wrong with politics?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just a matter of assessing the situation and weighing the pros and cons!"

"However, you don't have to be sad. As the saying goes: there is an owner for every injustice! Of course, those executioners must also be punished as they deserve, so that they can live up to my original intention of restoring China!"
